ISO 27001 is litmus test for information security

With increasing reliance on collaboration tools to improve information
management in regulated industries – such as financial services,
healthcare and construction – organizations must demand the highest levels
of security from their external service providers in order to avoid data
breaches and other incidents. Focusing on the physical data center that hosts
the online collaboration service provider's application isn't
enough.
